Join Soils for Life, Open Food Network, Sustainable Table and Regen Melbourne for a compelling conversation exploring the essential links between soil health, food systems, and public health. Dan Kittredge, a pioneering voice in regenerative agriculture from the United States, will discuss how farming practices impact both our environment and the nutrients we are consuming. Learn about groundbreaking innovations from the Bionutrient Institute that are increasing transparency and understanding of our food's nutritional content. This session offers valuable insights for anyone working in food systems, regenerative farming, environmental action, or public health—helping us build a healthier future for both people and planet.

Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” Dan works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health. Out of these efforts was born the Bionutrient Institute, which has engineered a prototype of a hand-held consumer spectrometer designed to test nutrient density at point of purchase. Via the Bionutrient Meter, the goal is to empower consumers to choose for nutrient quality and thereby leverage economic incentives to drive full system regeneration.
